From The Tude--Trans Siberian Auto **Journal**

My TS problem was due to lockout from alkali soil. It is a P deficiency. If you are using purified water ( distilled/R.O.) You MUST use a CalMag supplement. If you are not, then yes you will continue to have problems that will get worse. Best of Luck. Keep us posted. Crunch*

So you're saying if you use ro water you have to use Cal/mag? But if you're using Ph adjusted tap it should be fine?

I'm thinking they were just curling because they were thirsty, about 2 hours after watering they were not changing....then I just checked them and the curling is gone...but I still have another one that doesn't seen to want to open up the top shoots...its been that way for about a week now...any thoughts on that?

If you use R.O. Water or Distilled water you MUST use a CalMag supplement. It is necessary. If you are using hard tap water, you might have SOME of those secondary nutrients, but not all. CalMag is easy to apply. People even apply Epsom salt as a foliar feed, but not while flowering. I highly recommend you go to the store. Hope any of this helped. Crunch*

I will definitely grab some this weekend...I am using hard tap water, but I'm sure its not enough, thus causing the dropping and clawing...I'll post up next week with hopefully a turnaround!! Thanks for the help Dameon, hats off, your a stand up dude!!

So went to the Hydro store and got me some cal/Mg, a pretty big free sample I might add...haven't used it yet though. Was told I didn't need it if I was using tap. Plus the don't look like they did, I am thinking it was just because they needed some water. I can't let them dry out that much, lesson learned. I did get some Big Bloom and have started using it with my Tiger bloom. Its only been a little over a week and have only feed them once, as I am going every third watering with nutes. They all look extremely healthy though. Got a pic of the Trans, and thought I would post a few pics of my other ladies, as they are looking so vibrant!! Sorry to crowd the thread with pics other then the Trans Auto...but deal with it LOL

And lastly: Today I chopped a Trans Siberian that was in a 1/2 gallon pot, roughly 65 days from germ to harvest. She was tiny, but it was my very first one and she started with all sorts of problems..I'm lucky she got this far:



Anyways...thanks all for checking in!!

I don't know why some show as attachments and others don't. As I know I can't see the attachments when I am on my phone viewing so I will post some of the pics again, sorry all!!

wow that is awesome! no telling the potential on her! impressed

So I just smoked some of the Trans I just chopped a few days ago and although it was only about 3/4 dry and not cured, thought I would post a little smoke report (never done this so bare with me):

Smooth draw with a pungent skunky earthy taste, I'm thinking a little earthy from not being cured. Super intense initial high, very mind numbing, heavy buzz. Its definitely not a motivational high, to be honest don't feel like leaving the couch.

Its my first grow with bought seeds, never really smoked anything with a name other than "hydro", with that being said, this is one of the top five highest I've ever been....DAMEON, I will be waiting to hear your smoke report on the t.s., as I'm a true noob and hope to see some similarities...

Thanks all!!

sounds like you got some good smoke brotha and i would imagine that earthiness is what you say just from it not having been cured yet. Thanks for the report!

how much was the yield? i have 5 trans autos that are two days old (just sprouted)
